As seasons change...

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”-Ashley Smith

Fresh air, nature walks, park play dates...I can't wait for spring to get here! We have been having some warm weather here in Colorado, and I must say it seems as though everyone is enjoying it.
I’m looking forward to nature walks with our daughter, and of course gardening. I’ve been asked which season I enjoy the most.
I think I would have to say autumn. I love watching leaves fall from the trees, and the beautiful colors they turn. Everyone seems to pull out their scarves, and knitted sweaters. And we love sitting in coffee shops. So what's your favorite season?
Even though autumn is one of my favorite seasons, I can't wait for spring to get here. Beautiful flowers, humming birds usually gather around my flowerbed, and I enjoy opening windows and letting in fresh air. It's so peaceful.

    Ones of the best gifts a parent can give her child is the appreciation of nature. A child's eyes are so near ground level , to see nature's beauty. And yet, children rarely see such things until it's brought to his attention.

    I really like winter a lot. The quiet and the calm and getting to wear warm clothing. I love scarfs and boots so it's always a fun season for me. It's also the season that I met my husband so winter holds a very special place for me.
